Short: Go to URL or view HTML in YAM 2.x Author: dwhiting@europa.com (Dick Whiting) Uploader: dwhiting europa com (Dick Whiting) Type: comm/mail Version: Support for IBrowse, Voyager, AWeb Architecture: m68k-amigaos YAM2URL for use with YAM 2.0 by Marcel Beck Copyright ©1997 by Dick Whiting --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This will display a URL using your browser, start the browser if needed, uniconify it if already running. It can also be used to view HTML mime attachments. To use this for double-clicking and going to a URL: edit the three variables in this script for your configuration YAM Config->ARexx->When double-clicking an URL (last entry in list) set the type to ARexx (cycle gadget) set the script string to 'Yam:Rexx/YAM2URL.rexx' (assuming it's here) set open console OFF set wait for termination OFF SAVE settings you can now double-click on a URL and go to it. To use this for displaying included HTML attachments: YAM Config->Read->MimeViewers if there is NOT a type for 'text/html' create a NEW one set viewer to: 'sys:rexxc/rx Yam:Rexx/YAM2URL.rexx %s' SAVE settings you can now display HTML attachments by selecting 'Display' from the YAM read window and choosing the HTML attachment from the list. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- !!! You need to edit the four values hideyam,browser,runbr, and newwindow. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES: IF YOU HAVE REASSIGNED THE YAM TEMPORARY DIRECTORY USE THIS FORM: (This value is specified on the Config->Mixed page.) set viewer to: 'sys:rexxc/rx Yam:Rexx/YAM2URL.rexx file:///%s' Also, the '%s' you specify for *MUST* be lowercase. This applies to ALL mime prefs, not just the one for Yam2URL. Uppercase '%S' will NOT pass the correct information to your mime viewers. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have the rexxtricks.library installed then the browser screen will pop to the front correctly. You can find this on Aminet/util/rexx/RexxTricks_386.lha --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Standard Disclaimer: I wrote it, it works for me, I don't guarantee that it will do anything productive for anyone else, etc. etc. ;-) HOWEVER, if you do find a use for it: I homeschool my kids and they would love a postcard from where EVER you live.
